Bizintel360 vs. Tableau Cloud

-Scenarios where Bizintel360 is appropriate

When a team needs to analyze fairly big data sets from multiple sources, without having a dedicated IT infrastructure (ETL etc.) and when the teams members have little or no knowledge of coding languages and data analysis algorithms.

-Scenarios where Bizintel360 is less appropriate

When conversion tracking is required is E-commerce data analysis scenarios

When 2-Factor authentication is required by security-aware clients.

If you're using Tableau as the primary BI tool, then Tableau Cloud is well suited to publish and share the results with a wide(r) audience. It is well suited for various degrees of self-service proficiency, from pure consumers of analytical work to more advanced users who can use web editing for smaller or larger adjustments, and even for desktop power users who will publish their work to Tableau Cloud. It has many good ways to organize the content and make it easily accessible via search, favorites, folders, collections ("playlists for your data"), or history ("recents"). It might not be ideally suited if there are many on-prem sources to be used (even though there are options to connect them) or if you have very special requirements regarding custom server setup, which is limited in a shared cloud environment like Tableau Cloud.

• Process large amount of data at rather high speed
• Cloud based solution that required no coding
• The dashboard UI is very intuitive

• Tableau Online is completely cloud based and that's why the reports and dashboards are accessible even on the go. One doesn't always need to access the office laptop to access the reports.
• The visualizations are interactive and one can quickly change the level at which they want to view the information. For example, one person might be more interested in looking at the country level performances rather than client level. This is intuitive and one doesn't need to create multiple reports for the same.
• The feature to ask questions in plain vanilla English language is great and helpful. For quick adhoc fact checks one can simply type what they are looking for and the Natural Language Programming algorithms under the hood parse the query, interpret it and then fetch the results accordingly in a visual form.

Incentivized

• The dashboard freezes sometimes when processing too much data
• Lack of Conversion Tracking when analyzing E-commerce data
• Lack of 2-factor authentication (security issue for some clients)

Incentivized

• Can be a steep learning curve for new users
• Modeling and building algorithms aren't always intuitive and take some testing/retesting to ensure it's working as it should
• Inability to integrate easily with our HRIS platform. Reports are pulled from HRIS at various intervals and uploaded into Tableau

I think it is a great tool for teams that do not have access to a dedicated data analysis infrastructure, and/or do not have skilled human resources in that fields.

However there are E-commerce data analysis scenarios when Bizintel360 is not the best option (mainly conversion tracking), and the lack of 2-factor authentication might bring security issues with some clients.

Overall a very good tool for limited analysis scenarios.

Based on comments from our clients, I awarded it this grade. Non-technical customers frequently compliment us on the ease with which they can utilize Tableau Online. Usability is rarely a source of contention amongst our customers. Few complaints have come from me as a user of our internal products.

The interface itself is very intuitive so we did not need much support when using it.

However the support team is very responsive and communicating by email was not an issue.

I have not had any issues that require customer support from Tableau at this time, which speaks well to Tableau. I have taken an online course with Tableau and it was very professional and well done, so based on that I would assume a similar level of quality for their customer service.

Google BigQuery is unbeatable in terms of processing power: it leverages Google infrastructure to process data without any limitation of data size or number of data sources. However the user interface is not intuitive, and most people need to undergo some kind of training from Google to be able to use it properly.

Bizintel360 is less performant in terms of processing power, but provides a very intuitive dashboard and beginner friendly functionalities making it very accessible and quick to master.

In determining whether to go with Tableau Online versus Alteryx, two important factors stood out in determining our go-to solution. First, while Alteryx is an impressive tool for data cleansing, it did not stack up in terms of data visualization capabilities. Tableau, on the other hand, provided us everything we needed in terms of visualizing our data and analytics. The second factor is cost. Well neither solution would be considered cheap, Tableau was the more cost effective solution for our needs.

• Give us the ability to analyze large data very quickly (Speed Gain)
• Cost reduction (no need to build a dedicated infrastructure)
• Improve client business KPI (not in very case though)
• The lack of 2-factor authentication can be an issue

Incentivized

• When we release new products, we are now able to quickly see data and toggle between current periods and previous to see performance
• Generating new reports requires less IT time to build
• Data can be shared across many different device types
• We now have integration where our customers can extract data from our software more easily-this was a big ask from our customers
